These were made around 1975 in a limited production, long before the Stinger. They had a good and bad short history in offshore racing. The Bad,, the first death in offshore racing happened on Lake St Clair, Walt Burns was killed in the Maverick, CC owned by Steve Baum. The Good, new safety rules came out of this tragedy, and Steve made the 32' Maverick race boats from this hull. [Maverick & Miss Gallo, Break Out]
